In the dizzying technological revolution in which we live, this postgraduate diploma is a differentiating factor that will make you more competitive" 

This postgraduate diploma will provide the student with the necessary updating of skills in a constantly evolving environment.  In this way, the necessary knowledge is given to be able to face the supervision and technical direction and therefore be able to become an expert computer scientist in 3D creatures in film, advertising and video game companies. 

A good presentation speaks a lot about the person as an artist, so this program will teach the student to refine the composition of color and light, as well as the forms and elements that enhance their work. You will learn in depth concepts of photography to learn how to sell your models in the best way and you will delve into the development of a Rig in Maya for the subsequent animation of the model. 

The graduate will also learn to master Blender software, which is being implemented more and more in the industry. Therefore, whether for a personal or indie production, or for a large production that implements this software in its workflow, the student must be up to date and prepared for any situation with the latest software on the market. 

Additionally, as it is an online program, students are not conditioned by fixed schedules or the need to move to another physical location. You will have access to a rich content that will help you reach the 3D modeling elite at any time of the day, balancing, at your own pace, your work and personal life with your academic life. 

This qualification is based on an extensive compilation of industry experience and different opinions from professionals"
